Simple Steps to Avoid Weekend Weight Gain

Looking for some simple steps to avoid weekend weight gain? The video below has the 5 steps that I used recently to avoid weight gain on vacation.

A couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to Potosi, WI, for my wife’s family reunion. She comes from a very large Italian family, so I knew we would be eating tons of delicious food and drinking lots of wine. I didn’t want to limit myself…but I also didn’t want to gain a bunch of weight either.

I have been working hard to lose fat and build muscle, and I didn’t want one long weekend of over-indulgence to slow my progress. Check out the video below to see what happened…

I have been using the tricks in this video pretty much all summer to maintain my current weight and body fat percentage.

They worked great for the Family Reunion, as well as over the 4th of July Holiday weekend.

In fact, I’m at a business conference in Florida this week and I prepared for it with several days of “light” eating and intermittent fasting using the protocols from Brad Pilon’s Eat Stop Eatprogram.

Thanks Bret…I appreciate your feedback. The best thing is that intermittent fasting really works! I used it before and after the 5 Days conference…and you know how much I ate and drank at The Bourbon restaurant…and I only gain 1/2 pound that entire week. It’s crazy! Give it a try sometime.

Yeah…they can be tough at first. If you can’t make it a whole day, try eating breakfast and then fasting until dinner. Do that once or twice per week until you get used to it. Then kick it up a notch by eating breakfast, and then not eating again until breakfast the next day. This is a full 24-hour fast. Again, do this once or twice per week until your body gets used to it. At that point you’re ready to try a 36-hour fast. So, say for example your last meal was dinner today (Monday), then you don’t eat again until breakfast on Wednesday. I can manage a 36-hour fast every now and again, but I usually just stick to the 24-hour ones…they are just easier for me. What’s really cool is the more your body gets used to fasting, the easier it becomes and less you actually have to eat.
